<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
Has your career been a random product of your manager's whims or  company's needs? Never rely on your company to keep your skills  current and marketable. Take control of your own career with a  proven strategy.
</p><p>
These are solid, repeatable steps to get your career in the  trajectory you want. The first step is deciding where you want to  go. We'll walk through creating a long-term plan, then break it down  into manageable steps. Learn to lead within your own company, then  stretch out to your local, regional and national community, building  your reputation as you go. From coding to writing to speaking, each  step will move you closer to where you want to be: in a position of  having options and in control of your career.
